Little Latter Day Saint

{Mesa, AZ temple}

Sometimes, Dallen has a hard time with the concept of reverence at church. Other times, he completely surprises me. Lately at church, Dallen has been repeating all the words he recognizes as he listens to the speakers: "Book of Mormon", "Nephi", "prophet", etc. And it just melts my heart when he will start singing a primary song that I didn't know he had learned in his trips to the big kid primary. It seems like yesterday that Dallen was just learning to walk and I couldn't wait for him to be old enough for nursery, and now he is weeks away from moving into Sunbeams. I am so grateful for the church and that Dallen has the opportunity to be raised in it. I know it is so important for him and I love watching him learn and grow in the gospel.{pictures from October 2011}
